Introducing Arria II GX FPGAs: Lowest Power, Cost-Optimized FPGAs with Up to 3.75-Gbps Transceivers

Arria^® II GX FPGAs are the lowest power FPGAs with 3.75-Gbps transceivers. Designed for cost-sensitive applications, Arria II GX FPGAs are based on a 40-nm, full-featured FPGA fabric that includes adaptive logic modules (ALMs), digital signal processing (DSP) blocks, embedded RAM, and a hard PCIe IP core. Unlike other 3-Gbps FPGAs, Arria II GX FPGAs offer improvements in usability that allow you to complete your projects faster.

Design with ease

The complexity of developing applications using FPGAs with transceivers has traditionally presented challenges in board design and in meeting cost and time-to-market goals. The Arria II GX FPGA architecture, along with Quartus^® II design software, the SOPC Builder system integration tool, and design references, meets these challenges and makes it easier for you to develop your transceiver-based applications.

• Build a PCIe design in 45 minutes with the PCIe Hard IP Quick Start Guide with SOPC Builder
• Benefit from the rich offering of fully parameterized and documented HDL design examples and testbenches (see the Arria II GX Getting Started web page)
• Use SOPC Builder to seamlessly connect IP blocks with a simple and intuitive GUI
• Experience board level design ease with power distribution network (PDN) and simultaneously switching noise (SSN) tools
• Develop and test your design in hardware using the Arria II GX Development Kit (coming soon)
